You Could Look It Up

Q. Are “more than” and “over” interchangeable
when writing about quantities?

A. Questions like these are frequently asked but rarely answered in this space because they’re so easy
to check in a dictionary. Perhaps because of the ready availability of online resources, we often forget about the humble
desk dictionary, or, for those who require more flash, its online version. (Answers: school-age; it doesn’t
matter; and yes, although sticklers might disagree.)
